Hi, I have my SNMP Extension Agent DLL that is called by the Windows SNMP Service (snmp.exe) everytime i do an snmpwalk (another console application) .I want to step into my DLL code that is called from the above Windows Service. How do i go about doing that?
Thanks Som
Normally, you'd attach your debugger to the running process that uses your DLL and then interact with the debugger as you'd normally do.
In Visual Studio 2008, you'd do that by using Debug > Attach To Process, then select the correct process. At least that's how I vaguely remember doing it before.
Hi , Thanks for the reply. In this case i do NOT have the src code nor the solution for the process (which infact is the standard Windows SNMP Service) from which my DLL is invoked,I do not want have src code for the console application either which calls into the SNMP service – somjk
You can attach to running service from visual studio as Timo Geusch suggests. After that you can set a breakpoint in your code. You also can add call to DebugBreak function in the place you want to debug your library. This can help you if the code you want to debug is executed before you can attach to process (if your code executed in handler of service start event for example).
EDIT: You can attach to any service, even if you don't have debugging information for it, but in this case you wouldn't be able to see stack trace above your function call.
